Susanna, she dropped by today. |
| |
She said, “That's where I used to play |
| |
Now it's gotten overgrown |
| |
This house is one big memory, |
| |
Oh Mama! Please come live with me |
| |
You know I worry now that you're alone” |
| |
|
| |
Susanna's scared. I'm not afraid. |
| |
This is the house that Charlie made |
| |
Though he's gone, I know where I belong. |
| |
I still see him on that swing |
| |
And often I can hear him sing |
| |
When chilly breezes start to blow |
| |
“Darlin' won't you come along? |
| |
|
| chorus |
Melinda Rose, come dance with me. |
| |
The moon is shining brilliantly |
| |
And in this light your beauty glows |
| |
I will love you tenderly |
| |
And I promise that I'll be |
| |
Forever yours, Melinda Rose” |

Three A.M in the snow |
| |
Headed to the barn although |
| |
We sold the stock a few years back |
| |
I whistled for the dog then knew |
| |
Just last month, I lost him too |
| |
I guess that I was losing track |
| |
|
| |
But someone called to me that night |
| |
And waiting in the silver light |
| |
There was Charlie standing in the snow |
| |
Snowflakes shining in his hair |
| |
Like diamonds in the frosty air |
| |
“Come on beautiful, let's go |
| |
|
| chorus |
|
| |
|
| bridge |
Susanna found me there next day |
| |
And I was smiling they say |
| |
Beside my footprints in the snow |
| |
One set led to where I lay |
| |
Two sets of footprints danced away |
| |
Who it was, they'll never know |
| |
|
| chorus |
|
| |
|
|
coda
|
Oh Charlie, I will love you tenderly |
| |
And I promise that I'll be |
| |
Forever, your Melinda Rose |
